BUDDY: Kali, Kali let me in or I’ll, I’ll smash this door in. *Kali opens the door while yawning* What’s the problem Buddy Boo? BUDDY: Kali I’ve been banging on za door for a long time, I tot you were sick or somethin’. Oh no my man, I just sleep very soundly.

BUDDY: The Cougars are out on da beach and in the cabanas. They’ve met some hunky looking boycats and are mewing like kittens.

Before we get too carried away let’s get a memory photo taken of all of us.

BINGA: C’mon Kali let’s get this done, Binky and I have some ruff and tuff looking boycats fetching us some nipitoonals. The drink of Fiji.

Everybody just make sure you have your sunscream on and forget the hats and glasses.

*sigh* No one listens to me. Buddy has glasses on and there are a couple of Cougars with hats on.

ALLIE: Mother of Mouses this is a crowded beach and we’re all talking at once.

Go Cougars, spread your happiness about the island. See you back at the hut at 5pm and we’ll go out for dinner.

AMBER: Did I tell you my grandfather sailed to Fiji on a pirate ship? He was brought on board to be a ratter and keep the rats down so they didn’t eat all the food.

Well, Granddad Flips didn’t like the taste of rats. He said they were a terribly coarse meat and their spiky fur made him sneeze. Needless to say, he did a rotten job of clearing the rats away so when the pirate ship landed in Fiji, Granddad Flips took off like a firecracker was up his butt. The pirates were really upset and looking to get rid of the cat cause Granddad Flips was eating more of their food than the rats.

MADI: How did he survive on this island? Was he welcomed or treated as an interloper?

AMBER: He loved it in Fiji and even learned the Fijian language. His favourite food was fish and he had a whole ocean full of these delicacies. Granddad Flips was a fun guy mom said and every kitty loved him. However, he had one habit that made him unique. He liked to sleep on his head. See, this is the picture mom gave me of Granddad Flips.

SARABI: Sorry Amber, but your granddad was weird. However, he is fascinating. Whatever happened to him?

AMBER: I totally agree Sarabi, granddad was an odd character but memorable. He left Fiji on a cruise ship, cause none of the crew on the ship, saw him sneak aboard. He got off the ship in the UK and the rest is history.

We’re getting pretty close to the island of Viti Levu. Look!! BINGA: Fiji, here we come!

Wow. it’s so warm here! There is a slight breeze. Can you smell the Pacific? I can, and I smell fishies!

Sasha: Which way do we go to get our luggage? They better be gentle with my new suitcase or I’ll play wacky paw with their chin! Hmpf.

Ali: Over here. They’re just sitting here all by themselves.

Nobody’s around so we best just take them. Come on Buddy can you get us a couple of carts.

I love it here. Oh, look there’s a makeup store…..duty-free. We must look on our way home.

BINGA: What does duty-free mean? Nobody did their business on it? You mean they’d sell it with duty all over it? Yuck!!

MADI: This is Nadi International Airport and it’s just teeming with bodies. Let’s get out of here before someone steps on me. Look there’s our limousine to the hotel.

Thank you so much, Mr. Limo driver. A little something for you my friend. *Kali slips the driver 5 treats and a small nip leaf.* The limo driver has a quizzical look on his face but thanks, Kali and drives away.

Wow, this is cool gals. We each have a hut of our own. I booked us for a week.

BUDDY: My own house!! I like dis. I don’t have to share. Mine all mine!

Is anybody in the mood to go swimming? Nobody! OK, we’ve been awake all night. It took 13 hours to get here so let’s have a nap and go sight seeing when we wake up.

SARABI: Super idea, I’m seeing mice when I close my eyes so I need to chase those mice in my sleep.

The cougars leave for their own huts.

Kali walks into her hut and does a double take.

I didn’t know the ocean was so close. This really is awesome. She collapses in a lounger on the patio and falls fast asleep.

Stay tuned for the further adventures of the Crotchety Cougars in Fiji.

BINKY: We sure could use a holiday. Somewhere warm as nip in the sun. With some young man cats to wait on our every whim.

*High pitched mewing starts up among our cougars.*

SASHA: I want to go to Hawaii….Maui. The white sands…the warm breezes…ahhhh

ALI: Gimme Bermuda. I’ve never been there and every cat I talk with says it’s awesome with a warm climate and beautiful beaches.

MADI: How about Bora Bora? It’s in the South Pacific. It’s got fab coral reefs too.

How does everybody feel about Fiji? It’s in the South Pacific like Bora Bora. We could head for Viti Levu Island where the capital of Suva is located.AMBER: OK, Kali, let’s head off to Fiji for a tan and some fun with the boy/man cats. mew mew

The Cougars agree and head off to pack their suitcases.

Don’t forget your sunscream, hats, and sunglasses. Some fancy dinner clothes too. We want to be prepared for anything. hehe

Well, I think we should let anyone who wants this award to take it instead of choosing some. We love everybody even if we are crotchety.

Anyone want to give some facts about themselves?

Our handsome security guard is my boyfriend.

I live a neighborhood away from the comedian and cat lover,Marc Maron

I have 2 facts, I just got back from Paris and I can twerk better than any of you.

I have a new baby sister, Noelle.

I love to read and I write book reviews almost every Wednesday.

Sasha here, I actually just turned 17, not 18-OOPS!

I guess we have our 7 facts. Thank you Crystal and Daisy for the award and thank you to all who have awarded us. Our folks think our heads are getting too big with all these awards so we are no longer able to accept anymore-human secretaries are the meanest. Unfortunately, we need them to type for us so we have to do what they say. As Phoebe used to say- Phooey!

Cougars, I hate to tell you this but Kit has gone through those gates to see Angel Phoebe, Angel Elle, and Angel Lily Olivia. Her health was getting worse but now she is with her friends and loving family members thatleft before her. Her health is that of a yung’un again. This is how I’ll remember Cougar Kit, busy watching to see if I did it the way she told me. That was our Kit!

Ladies and Buddy too, let’s raise our bowls and drink a toast to Cougar Kit, the grand lady. *sip* You are free from your earthly bonds. See ya later, Kit

Why Did You Start Blogging?

Angel Phoebe and I started up the blog because there was a need for us female felines 15 and over to vent our feelings and generally enjoy each other.

What Keeps You Going And Motivated?

AMBER: You mean where do I get ideas and why do I want to share them? Ideas come from everyday living, ideas that pop into my noggin that make me smile and I figure other peeps would get a smile too. Life can be very serious….let’s laugh at ourselves.

What Is Your Weirdest Habit?

SASHA: I don’t have weird habits. I’m perfect. However, I do turn around 3 times before I lie down but so does Kali. I guess I’m a wee bit superstitious. This is good…many a kitty has been lost to snakes because they collapsed on a snake pit. mol

What Is Your Favorite Cuisine?

BINGA: Now, you’re talkin’! My favourite foods. Well, I love beef so bring on the roasts. I prefer my steaks and roasts sliced thin so I don’t have to chew too much. No need to waste my energy. When I was a yungun’ I could saw through a raw brisket in no time. I’m pickier now.

What Are The First Three Things You Notice In A Person?

BINKY: That’s an easy question. Right away I notice if they laugh. A happy person is usually a kind person. Does this peep talk a lot? I want to be with someone who will let me talk and express myself not someone that yatters constantly. Does this peep have treats? Always a great way to break the ice is to offer some treats.

How Do You Deal With Negative Comments Of The People About Your Appearance Or Anything Else?

ALLIE: Peeps don’t say anything nasty about my appearance…..I’m beautiful. They may think I’m snooty, no not snotty…snooty, nose in the air, you know what I mean. That’s because they don’t know me. The worst thing I’ve been called is furry face. I can live with that description.

What Is The Meaning Of Your Name?

SARABI: The meaning of Sarabi is Mirage. The origin of the name Sarabi is Swahili. This is the culture in which the name originated, or in the case of a word, the language. Mother character in the Disney animated movie “Lion King”

I am but a mirage…mew, mew. Now, the name Crotchety Cougars was the brain child of Kali. The name says it all…we are crotchety and we’ve earned the right and we’re cougars. We are older kitties that appreciate the swinging life of some man cats but we’re very picky. mol

What Is Your Goal In Life?

MADI: My goal in life has changed from when I was a yungun’. When I was a wee one I wanted all things for me. Treats and toys would make me happy. Now I want to enjoy my friends in Crotchety Cougars and cuddle with mom.

What Is Your Job Or Jobs?

ALI: Heavens, I don’t work. The only work I do is providing a warm and lovely atmosphere at home for my mom when she comes home from work. That can be tough some days.

Do You Have A Pet And If So, What Is Your Pet Or Pets?

BUDDY: Why yes, I do have a pet. My younger brother is my pet. We call him Einstein or Einey. He is a yungun’ and has lots to learn so I try to teach him. I’ve found the best teacher for Einey is experience. The lesson sticks more this way. Lordy me, I’m just too sexy for words. mol

What About Yourself Would You Like To change?

KIT: No way would I change. Hmmm…well I could do without the the health problems I have. Even the illness is me and makes up my personality so I would say…I am what I am so get used to it.

There you have the 11 questions answered by all of us bloggers.
